Omo see margin. Up APC, UP Ogbeni Rauf, UP intelligent voters of Osun who voted for development and progress not the person with the biggest rice or the Thug that eats corn with an armed guard behind him.

How I wish the people of Ekiti were as enlightened as Osun people.

APC sweeping them away since 2010.

Development phase 2.

gbollybakare: * A huge number of APC agents denied tags in many local government areas including Osogbo, Ifedayo, Atakumosa West. In Osogbo, only 60 out of 227 agents were given tags.

* The Good Governance Forum in Osun has urged all eligible voters to go out en-masse to cast their votes and not be intimidated by the presence of security agents in the state or news of arrests of political leaders.

* Clampdown on APC leaders in Osun continues as Alhaji Tijani Oladosu, (aka TILAD), Quadri Owonikoko (a.k.a Integrity) were arrested midnight and whereabouts unknown

* After hours of interrogation, Lai Mohammed, Sunday Dare released by security agents

* Over 40 voters arrested in Erin Osun while on queue for accreditation.

* Alhaji Raimi Shitu, Vice Executive Secretary, Odo-Otin LG arrested midnight

* Chairman of O'SCHOOL in Osun and Chieftain of APC, Alhaji Lai Oyeduntan's house invaded in Osogbo

*APC stalwarts Octogenerian lawyer, Pa J.O Fakayode, being detained in Ora Igbomina after being picked up by security agents from Oke Ila

*All APC agents in Osu, Atakumosa West have been arrested by soldiers

emiye: 1. Atiku on PDM platform is dead on arrival. How will he sell himself on a relatively unknown platform less than 3 months to election. He does not have a clout following like Buhari, neither does his PDM has any structure on ground.

2. APC is a media party ? Maybe what SS / SE folks will say.

3. Aliyu can not save jona, even if he goes 2 d senate, jona lost heavily there the last, turaki or lamido? you meant lamido i guess, Lamido's sons case has not stopped lamido sule 4m criticising jona. Dont completely trust those Northern PDP elements not to turn their back against GEJ at the dine minute.

4. Make no mistake those 3 governors will stem the tide of total control like in 2011, 98% in the SE, and 97% in the SS, but more importantly, they will hamper voters mobilisation of PDP and even cause reduce voters turnout.

5. Forget Abacha's son, even an incumbent governor, shekarau who contested could not win in Kano presidential polls.

Kwankwanso won on PDP ticket, Jonathan on PDP ticket could not get 25% in kano.

Most of your analysis for other states will be less consequential at the presidential elections

6. Dont be too excited abt the ekiti scenario, it is the least populated SW state, and with the least no. of voters, APC will win in Osun next week. The ekiti loss has very little to do with tinubu godfatherism. Jonathan can not get 40 % of the SW votes in 2015

emiye: 1. Two major contenders in the person of Buhari and Atiku is a very remote possibility, and one in APC, and the other will be in what known platform? if Atiku, who i think is the weakest of the two moves to any other platform, he will be ineffectual.

2. Trust me the opposition is currently strong enough to uproot the PDP at the centre.

3. Do not foreclose the possibility of PDP primaries still leading to more division for PDP, remember there were 7 break away PDP gvernors, Jigawa and Niger state decided to stay back, it might be temporary.

4. i have told you PDP will win convincingly in those APC states, but they will be the worst performing states of the 11 SS/SE states. Guess, which state was the worst performing for GEJ in 2011 of the 11 SS/SE states? Edo state, the then only ACN state in all the SS/SE states.

5. Kano, Katsina, Sokoto, Zamfara, Jigawa, Niger, Kebbi, Borno, Yobe, Kwara, Bauchi, Gombe.

6. GEJ in 2011 with all the goodwill he had struggled in SW with only 58 % of SW votes, then there were also 2 incumbent PDP sw governors, and one proxy PDP in Ondo state.

He has lost goodwill in the SW, the opposition now needs to present a VP candidate from the SW.


Take note, my observation is as conservative as possible

emiye: How can someone be a student of election for 42 years , and come up with this analsyis.
I assume he has o year of experience in Nigeria's election.
2015 elections will be sharply divided along religious and ethnic lines in most cases.

It is 6 months + to election, but one thing that i am sure of is that there can ne no landslide win for any one who will eventually win.

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, GEJ will lose in a free and fair elections.

My reasons

(1)There would be only 1 strong northern candidate in 2015, unlike 2011 where we had 3 strong northern candidates (buhari, shekarau, ribadu) I stand to tell you that the North will definitely produce two major contenders in the person of Buhari and Atiku. You can take that to the bank. How it will happen would soon unfold.

(2) There is a stronger platform for national opposition through the APC, which still controls at least 14 states compared with 2011. Stronger platform for opposition? Yes! But not strong enough to uproot the ruling Party as the opposition is presently constituted.

(3) Virtually, all the northern PDP governors are not seeking re-election, and some might still cause rancour in PDP primaries and even defect e.g jigawa state. This exertion has not base in the PDP as virtually all trouble makers and disloyal members has been flush off. The same way APC thought PDP will crash at the exit of the 5 disloyal governor but the Party later emerge stronger.

(4) GEJ will win with landslide in Rivers, Imo and edo, but the volume of votes will decrease considerably compared with 2011 election. Are you sure APC can garner 10% of total vote in 2015 general elections in these States. Remember, the Oba of Bini sent his blessings through his son to GEJ the other day concerning 2015 and that where Edo vote will go, so Osho-baba can't deliver Edo likewise Rivers and Imo are in save kitty.

(5) GEJ will most likely fail to get 25% of votes in like 12 of the 19 northern states. List the 12 States.
(6) GEJ will struggle in the SW, he will be so lucky, if he gets 40% of the SW votes versus 58% of SW votes he got in 2011. Is it the same SW we are in? The shocking for APC will start from Lagos for your information and its revibration will not leave the whole SW the same. GEJ on point in South West.


Where is the landslide coming from? The people of Nigeria will shock APC as Ekiti-kete gave Fayose his landslide despite APC incumbency.

myjoy08: Transcorp trading above 6 naira presently. Oando is trading 26.23 naira at the moment...

finn: Same thing Johesu people did last year during their strike. Nurses locked up their cabinets with ward equipments, locked up some theatre equipments. Records people locked up files. Porter locked up gurneys. Lab scientists locked up reagents and all. We could run these things but they locked them up so we wont have access to them.

alentyno: Journalists –– editors to be precise –– with five to 10 years experience and they offer between N40,000 and N60,000 per month.
